Confirmed with Link: JT Miller traded to NYR for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini and 1st round pick (top 13 protected)

[SnowblindNYR]

JT Miller: 8 gp, 5g 4a 9p
Filip Chytil: 6gp, 1g 2a 3p

9 points in 8 games in this disfunctional mess is insane.

Playing a bunch of minutes with Panarin no less who has been f***ing terrible.

I know Everybody Hates Chris (Drury), but the 3 major trades he's pulled off since the Trouba memo have been resounding wins for the Rangers. He added an elite C/W in JT, a top 4 D-man in Borgen and another much needed lefty defenseman with team control in Vaakanainen all for clear long term question marks in Chytil, Kakko and Trouba. he also retained no salary and in fact cleared 3-4 million on the cap this year. That's buying for the future without renting and I hope it continues in the coming days.

I think the JT trade was important because they finally have a top player who can lead by example style wise for younger players. When he chips the puck in he goes and gets it. If a dman is ther JT hits him to knock him off the puck. When he goes to the crease he doesn't take abuse without giving it back. Good example for young guys like Will, Oth and maybe even Laf.

Agreed. Small thing but in the last game before the break, Olivier was running around for CBJ all night and early in the 3rd, JT made a beeline for him and laid a big hit. that shows me an awareness for the game within the game that JT has, that alot of our other veterans do not have. Just tell the other team's enforcer, "I see you". JT will also drop the gloves with anyone. Schenn Parayko, etc. He was the first man into a scrum going at Tom Wilson when he was taking some liberties with Quinn. That matters a lot.

Ok Mr. 409 posts.

Filip Chytil: 6gp, 1g 2a 3p

I reckon that's about as you'd expect it.

I thought it was a solid trade for both teams. NYR got a skilled, gritty 1C. Vancouver still has the younger Pettersson at 1C, added a good middle 6 center, and flipped our pick to bolster their top 4 D.

Borgen is not a top 4 D

 

[McRanger92]

Borgen is not a top 4 D

Seems to be doing a fine job to me. and even if he isnt he's paid like a good bottom 4 D-man

 

[NYR Viper]

Borgen is not a top 4 D

Vehemently disagree

 

[DanielBrassard]

Borgen is borderline at best and certainly not a 2nd pairing d on a cup contender.

 

[HonestGabe]

Borgen is a #4/5 D-man and is going to be paid like one. Arguing the top 4 D is semantics because we also have Schneider on the right side. To me they’re interchangeable and will have similar usage when this D-core is remodeled

Why not? If you put him on the middle pair of FLA or EDM last season, he'd have been fine on either team, with decent systems and players around him. Who's the middle pair in FLA last year, Ekblad and Mikkola? I think he can skate alongside either of them just fine. Likewise for EDM's middle pair.

I think KAM seems to have played a bit better since paired with Borgen. On a slow soft old team its kind of nice to have a guy who can skate and hit. I don't know what pairing he should or should not be on but I think he has been solid as a NYR so far.

Pretty much this…. What he is, is capable and stable…. He was really good for the kracken the year they were in the playoffs….
He stabilized Kams game after he was all over the place, and the 2 have become a competent pairing… miller, prior to injury even looks to be taking the pair by the reins, and I’m not a kam guy.
He’s a tough American kid. He’s only 28. Having him being able to play 2nd/3rdpair for long stretches of stable and competent play is def a welcome addition and a positive for the younger D Kam/Schneids/jones etc

I don’t think that contract looks as bad as some think it does over the next 1-2 seasons….
